They were first introduced in the {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} expansion (the {{TCG|Collection Sun}} and {{TCG|Collection Moon}} expansions in Japan). Pokémon-GX have a stylized {{GX}} graphic on the card name. | '''Pokémon-GX''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンGX''' ''Pokémon GX''), officially written '''Pokémon-''GX''''', are a variant of Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

Pokémon-GX work very similarly to both {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} from the Black & White and XY series and {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} from the EX Series.

They possess considerably higher HP and stronger attacks compared to their regular counterparts, but when a Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two {{TCG|Prize card}}s instead of one. However, Pokémon-GX are classified with their usual stage of [[Evolution#In the TCG|Evolution]], contrary to Pokémon-EX which had fully-evolved Pokémon as {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}. | ||
The main trait that makes Pokémon-GX differ from previous variant Pokémon is their exclusive mechanic called '''''GX'' attacks'''. These attacks are based on the [[Z-Move]]s mechanic introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and like them, have more powerful effects and/or damage output than normal attacks. However, a player can only use one GX attack per game. A special GX marker is used to take note of whether the player has already used its GX attack or not. | The main trait that makes Pokémon-GX differ from previous variant Pokémon is their exclusive mechanic called '''''GX'' attacks'''.
